Biography
James Alex Fields Jr. was born in Kenton, Kentucky in 1997; his father died before he was born. He lived with his mother until 2017, when they moved into an apartment in Maumee, Ohio for to his mother's job. Fields was known as a quiet teenager who kept to himself a lot, and he had trouble making friends at school. At high school, Fields wrote a report that was very much along the lines of the neo-Nazi movement, and a teacher said that he was very bright but very misguided and disillusioned. His mother allowed for him to have fascist views, saying that she would not interfere with him; she claimed that Donald Trump was not a supremacist. Fields decided to enter the US Army on 18 August 2015, but his period of active duty concluded four months later for unknown reasons. In August 2017, he decided to take part in the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, where he marched with Vanguard America members and carried one of the movement's shields. On 11 August 2017, he drove his gray 2010 Dodge Challenger into a crowd of anti-fascist counter-protesters, killing one woman and injuring 19 people. He was arrested and charged with numerous crimes, including murder.
